Vietjet launches ‘Free summer, Fly for free’ campaign

By The Nation

 

To celebrate the coming summer, Vietjet has launched an amazing “Free summer, Fly for free” campaign – running from April 25 to June 15 – as part of which it is offering one million promotional tickets priced from zero if they are booked within the “golden hours” of noon to 2pm at www.vietjetair.com

 

A host of interesting activities can also be booked as part of the promotion.

 

During this, the campaign’s first week, Vietjet will run a “three-golden-day” promotion from Tuesday to Thursday, which applies to all domestic and international routes from Vietnam to Seoul and Busan (South Korea), Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Taipei, Taichung and Tainan (Taiwan), Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Yangon (Myanmar) and Siem Reap (Cambodia) for travel between May 15 and December 31, excluding national holidays.

 

The promotional tickets are available for booking within the hours of 12pm to 2pm (GMT+7) at www.vietjetair.com (also compatible with smart phones at https://m.vietjetair.com) or at www.facebook.com/vietjetvietnam (just click the “Booking” tab). 

 

Payment can be easily made via debit and credit cards of Visa, MasterCard, JCB, KCP and American Express, and through ATM cards issued by 29 Vietnamese banks registered for Internet banking.

 

Moreover, from May 8 to June 4, participants in the “Free summer – Fly for Free” game at Vietjet’s microsite – freesummer.vietjetair.com – will have chances of winning a weekly award of five free return flights, with each flight comprising tickets for a five-person group and a grand award of a free package tour to an optional destination.

and after Taxes, lugagge fees, convenience fees, credit card surcharges, it will certainly be around 2.5K or more...... ???

I got a return to Hanoi with Nok Air once when the promo tickets were about 200-300 each way and the total cost was 2100 return so the total cost should be about 1700 baht for 'free' tickets, not a bad deal and cheaper than going to Laos for a visa as Vietnam is visa-free for most of us.

'... Vietnam is visa-free for most of us.' For up to 15 days at a time.

Thailiban is right of course, bogus advertising as readily used especially by plenty of airlines nowadays.

Free is 'free' aka. 'gratis' and if they don't provide it they should get presented with some 'free' fines.

Just to make the point that actually nothing is free. 

 

The 'culture of luring' - does that sound somewhat familiar ...?! 

A massive 5 minutes into the promo and all the promo tickets have already gone. Scam.

Hence, forget the promotion and pay the fare, too. Very shrewd move.

 

Also, 16 day Visa exemption for certain countries currently only until June 2017

Vietnam Airlines frequently offers tickets to HAN or SGN ex-BKK for 4.5 - 5 K return, incl luggage, food.

So yes indeed, in that case it is better to go "full fare" (as is the case with many other destinations and budget Airlines)
